Chapter 364 - Blasphemous Acts (1/2)

Lei Xing's blasphemous words of elopement sparked the Emperor's brain back to life. He frowned and swiftly strode past the guilt-ridden Lei Yong who was still staring at Tung mei, seemingly still in shock over Lei Xing's thoughtless explanation for Tung Mei's condition.

The Emperor stopped behind the embracing sisters, put his hands on their shoulders, and drew them apart. ”I'm busy, go away.” Lei Xing dismissively said, reaching for Xiao Ting who was also stretching her arms out to get back to her. The Emperor's frown deepened and he glared at Xiao Ting while pulling them back again.

The two girls turned to him with disgruntled frowns, but then when Xiao Ting met the Emperor's irritated eyes, she promptly faced forward, lowered her head, and began fidgeting with her dress with a pout. Meanwhile, Lei Xing was naturally unfazed and glared at the Emperor and irritatedly asked, ”What's your problem?”

The Emperor blinked at her, taken aback, he had not expected to have to explain himself. He swept a glance around the faces in the room and immediately concluded that he could not say out loud that he did not like seeing her clinging to someone else... That would be an incredibly stupid thing to say, not to mention embarrassing.

I mean, it was not like he was jealous. It was...unseemly to have the Empress clinging a person like this, in public. With that thought, the Emperor concluded that it was best to get Lei Xing out of here before she did anything more...troublesome.

The Emperor smiled at Lei Xing and said, ”How about I go with you instead? In fact, we can leave right now. Let's g-”

Lei Xing slapped his hands away and shook her head, ”No, you can't leave the palace.”

The Emperor's smile faltered but he persisted, ”Well, you can't leave either unless it's with me so...”

Lei Xing knit her brows and held her chin as she skeptically looked him over as if she were debating the validity of his words. The Emperor sighed and thinking that she was quietly contemplating, he reached towards her again, but she just leaned back. He leaned in closer and she moved back again. The Emperor narrowed his eyes at her, ”Xing er', beha-”

”Stop!” Xiao Ting's shout suddenly cut through the room followed by the sound of breaking porcelain, and Lei Yong's following shout of ”Xiao Ting!”

In response, Xiao Ting grabbed a plate and raised it up, ”Not allowed!” She threateningly said, her glare on Lei Yong intensifying.

Seeing that the Emperor seemed to have Lei Xing under control, Lei Yong had decided to just go grab Xiao Ting. He had only taken two steps when Xiao Ting suddenly took it upon herself to send a jug flying at his head.

Lei Xing looked at Lei Yong who was holding his head, then she laughed and jumped to hug Xiao Ting, ”They grow up so fast~”

Xiao Ting happily giggled and threw the plate towards Lei Yong, who jumped back, glaring daggers at his sisters.

”That's enough!” The Emperor said with a frown, separating the two sisters again, ”We are leaving right now!” He sternly said as he tried to gather Lei Xing in his arms but then she started punching and kicking, ”No! You can't tell me what to do! I'm the Empress!”

”And I'm the Emperor!” The Emperor said, fending off Lei Xing's hands that were attempting to claw out his eyes.

”So? Leave me alone! I did not sign up for you!” Lei Xing struggling even more, ”Help! Kidnapping! Ting Ting, Ying Yang, save me!”

Tung Mei promptly turned her head away, pretending not to see but then she locked eyes with Lei Yong, and it felt even weirder. Meanwhile, Xiao Ting the dutiful younger sister grabbed the Emperor's arm, ”You are not the Emperor! Unhand Jiejie!”

”Xing er', calm down! Lei Yong! Come contain your younger sister!” The Emperor irritatedly said, trying to lightly shake off Xiao Ting while trying to maintain his around Lei Xing who was wriggling and trying hard to crawl her way towards Tung Mei, who must be deaf because she was too busy studying something in the opposite direction to grab Lei Xing's outstretched hands.

”Oh!” Lei Yong snapped out of it and raced over.

”I said unhand my Jiejie!” Xiao Ting shouted as she latched onto the Emperor's arm and then bit down hard!

”Ah!” The Emperor exclaimed and reflexively flung his arm and Xiao Ting was thrown against the wall behind them and they all froze.

Lei Xing sharply inhaled and covered her mouth, ”You killed my Ting Ting!” She shouted as she quickly crawled over to Xiao Ting's ”lifeless” body and started slapping her face, ”Ting Ting, you in there? Ting Ting!” Lei Yong also raced over and crouched down beside them.
